Chapter 37 (Griffon's Collar)
"Is this the Griffon's Territory??Looks like it's really bustling!!" One day a few months later, the Deklaas family all arrived at the Griffon's Territory. Looking at the bustling scene of a city in the griffon's collar, Milina couldn't help but admire.
"The Griffon Territory was the territory of Prince Griffon four hundred years ago!!!He is a member of the current royal family, and it is not surprising that he can receive the favor of His Majesty the current Emperor. And this prosperous scene is just an illusion that appeared because of the Alchemist Conference, and it is usually only half prosperous at most. After all, this is only an agricultural territory, and it can't be like a commercial one. Although it was true that the griffons were very prosperous at this time, through the signs in the shops and the pedestrians on the streets, Deklaas immediately saw the truth under this prosperity.
"Uh... Dad, can you not be disappointed???Do you say that you don't want Shirley's life to be better in the future??" As soon as she heard Deklaas's words, Milina immediately looked angry and questioned Deklaas.
"I'm sorry. I can't help it. Deklaas smiled helplessly and apologized. But I couldn't help but think, 'I'm just telling the truth, do you need to say that about me??? What a disobedient daughter!!'
"Dad, is there anything you can do to make the griffon collar prosperous? Milina looked at Deklaas, her golden eyes narrowed slightly, and then she said deliberately as if she had seen through Deklaas's thoughts.
"Okay, okay!!!I know, I'll figure it out!!, please raise your hand!!!" Deklaas smiled helplessly, and then said deliberately very funny.
"Daddy!!I'm your daughter, don't talk like that!!" Although there was a hint of begging for mercy in Deklaas's words, it was a pity that Milina did not intend to let him go. Immediately blushing, he said to Deklaas.
"Yes!!Got it!!!" DeKras smiled, then reassured. However, I don't know if Milina is really blushing with anger. Because her tail was tightly grasped by Decraas.
After about an hour of walking around the city of Griffonland, the Deklaas family found a random hotel in a more upscale hotel, stayed in it, and waited until the next morning, and then went to the prince's mansion, where Shirley was now.
It was about a week before Shirley's wedding, but the alchemist conference that Deklaas had to attend was less than two days away, so they had to be there tomorrow.
However, while playing the streets, Deklaas saw a man, a person that Deklaas knew very well. Because he met it, it was unreasonable not to take a look, and besides, he also had some questions he wanted to ask her. So he left the inn on the pretext that he had seen an old acquaintance, and went to look for his old acquaintance.
Because every time Deklaas leaves, there are one or two more people who are not clear with Declas, and they are all women!!
However, Deklaas, who had already received the consent of Messna, Lily, and Pamia, did not care about her dissatisfaction.
Walking down the bustling streets, Deklaas was in no hurry to find the woman, he first went to the best cake shop in the city and bought a medium-sized apple-flavored cake before going to the woman.
At the same time, in the inn. Lis, who was a little bored, was lying on her stomach, playing chess with Heather. Although I don't know what kind of woman Deklaas will bring back when she returns, she is now staring at Milina with great vigilance while playing chess. Because when Deklaas was playing with them just now, he had been holding on to her tail.
Lis, who is an orc, naturally knows what it means to scratch her tail. But she didn't believe that Deklaas could really have that kind of ambiguous relationship with Milena, after all, she and Liz's half-sister. Of course, half-siblings are just what Liz thinks she is.
Lis's vigilance could not have escaped Milena's eyes. However, she really doesn't dare to confirm the kind of relationship with Deklas now, but the tail was caught by Decraas, and there was no resistance at all, which can be regarded as a kind of acquiescence.
"Then Milena, are you already the one with Deklaas??" Just as Milina, who thought Lis's vigilance and was a little nervous, Messena, who was sitting next to her, suddenly whispered to her, so frightened that she almost jumped.
"Not yet—" Seeing that the person who asked her was Deklaas's wife, Messna, Milina gave a cautious look at Lis, and then replied very quietly. Truth be told, if the person who asked her was Lily, or Pamia, Rita, she would most likely be silent. But because Messna is Deklaas's wife, Milina has to give her own answer.
"From Deklaas's point of view, it's a good result for the two of you to be together. But from my point of view, then you two can't be together!! Even if you're together, you can't be as well-known as Lily and Pamia. Both of them are people who have a relationship with Deklaas and are in a position to be together. But you don't, you're his daughter, you can't let your reputation be ruined!! That's why he didn't catch your tail until now. He is the head of this family, and he cannot and will not cause any trouble to this family, especially for Liz and Otos!!" After receiving Milina's answer, Meshna was silent for a while, and whispered slowly.
"I'm sorry, I know this, in fact, I don't know it all the time, otherwise, I wouldn't have been without it..."Milina was silent for a moment, then sighed and whispered.
"I'm not talking to you about this!!I mean you do what you want with him, but you can rely on him as your partner. But that can only be a secret forever!!Remember your answer today, I don't want to hear anything else!!" Messena's voice became a little cold, and Milina was uncomfortable to hear. She meant good, though, and had been thinking about Deklaas almost before. Except for the time when he was really angry, other times he didn't show his dissatisfaction with Deklaas and with them at all.
Even, Milina can guess that Deklaas is automatic today, and there is also a hint from Messena!!
But seriously, Milina doesn't like this stepmother a little, I don't know why. Even if she really liked Deklaas, she really didn't care much about them. It's probably because of jealousy.
